CBSE Class 10 English Poem of Dust of Snow By Robert Frost

Dust of Snow:

The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree

Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.

Summary:

The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree

Shook- shake

Hemlock- a poisonous tree with small white plant life

The poem is set in a scene where the poet is in a terrible mood and is taking walks through a tree, a hemlock tree. Hemlock tree is a toxic tree. As he passes by way of, a crow takes place to throw some snow dust on him. Whether it falls on his head or shoulders is unknown as there's no precise mention in the poem. Also, the readers are left in doubt approximately the hen’s particular motion. Whether the crow was landing, shivering with cold, re adjusting itself at the department or commencing, it came about to ship a few debris of snow upon the author. Here, the 2 sellers of nature, the hemlock tree and the crow are signifiers of unhappiness and gloom much like the poet’s temper become in the opening scene.

Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.

Rued- held in remorse

For motives unknown, the writer turned into having a terrible day. But the falling of the snow on his head lifted his temper immediately. He had already spent his day in a terrible temper however the rest of it became stored by the crow and the hemlock tree. Generally, hemlock tree and crow are used for poor references however the poet used them beautifully to painting that inauspicious matters can deliver joy and happiness too. One should no longer take things with no consideration and should be open and receive whichever manner the character chooses to bless us.
